I passed the list of addresses to complain to, to one list denizen; Here they are, for anyone else who's been deluged with this (so long as you're honest on whether you may've requested it or not; Mentioning that you're getting multiple copies tends to get it fixed.) I'm assuming your copies of this came from yahoo.com; complain politely and specifically: To , , complaining and asking them to curb their user. I'd ask also, it looks like they may've been used to get to yahoo.com; Also good to complain to , , and , who should be the people who WILL pull Tamik.Com's DNS (Domain Name Service) plug, though it looks like Tamik.Com're not on the Web any more (last I looked) - maybe someone else beat us to it. It's GOOD to get full headers from each of your messages, and cut & paste them into the complaint, and mention at the top that there are N sets of headers below. http://spam.abuse.net/ is a good place to look for more information on complaint letters, IIRC. Or I can help. Also: Technically the X-10 mail was Solicited - It was part of the deal, you may not've seen it but I sure did. Disagree with them on doing this (I like it better when people have a choice!) Easy to filter it into a folder & ignore it. It's not trying to get past a filter, unlike most SPAM.
